BTW, the idea that SQ could draw MU to *A and push CA/FM to OW is laughable. Both sets of (alliance) wheels have been in motion for a long time and the ends are near.
Following are additional relevant points that may be obvious:
-CA and FM are a package deal
-CA/FM and MU will not join the same alliance (too much rivaly at stake)
-CA likes *A because it provides the best (by far) Beijing feed of the alliances
-*A likes PEK (and CA) because it serves as a gateway to lots and lots of places in China (maybe 10x PVG; I'm not counting Hongqiao)
